There are almost any number of ways to implement monetization of a business site or blog. Of course some people start a site simply as a hobby, and it's only later when they realize they could earn something from it. When you ask the majority of the webmasters, you'll realize that they are always on the lookout for new ways to earn an income from their current site. Exactly what is chosen would be based on the overall business picture for the person concerned. Any addons in the way of monetization should ideally be based on the needs of your particular market. The rest of this article will go in-depth on some best-practices tips for adding new revenue streams to your existing businesses on the web.
If you look around you'll see many sites using text link ads, but of course that will only work if you have some traffic going to them; but it doesn't need to be a huge amount, either. Many webmasters use text links to earn money from their site. These are attractive to many business owners because they can easily be added, or taken away, without interrupting other site elements, etc. If you sell them directly, you'll have to do your own advertising, etc; on the other hand a company like, Text Link Ads, exists to take care of it for businesses who do not want to be bothered with it. You can also go for in-text advertising by using a network like Kontera, where they place targeted sponsored links within your text. You can identify these links easily and differentiate them from the normal ones as they come with a double underline. If you've not seen them, they act similar to very small pop-ups that are shown when the reader puts the mouse over them. Whenever anyone clicks on one of these ads, you will be paid some amount that is not necessarily fixed.
Direct banner advertising is another form of monetization method, which is highly lucrative. People have been buying and selling advertising space on the Internet for a long time now. When you do this, you can bypass the networks like Google AdSense, set your own prices and keep all the profits. But the only downside with direct banner advertising is that you need to have a high traffic site in order to attract qualified buyers. Nor is this a passive way to make money, as you will be in charge of selling and managing the advertising. Try to get creative about this because there are literally dozens and dozens more monetization methods in use. Your best bet is to always stay alert to what is going on in business, and if you see something that catches your eye, then test it out if possible. Online business and marketing is highly fluid and dynamic; so it's really a good idea to keep building and adding on to what you're doing.
